Best Dressed

Dinnigan’s palette is mostly a melange of soft, dusky tints, chosen because they flatter the skin, mix and match easily with brighter shades, and layer well to create interest.

Strap Happy

Fragrance Favorite

Dinnigan loves light, floral, ultra-feminine scents, whether they’re in the perfume she wears or the candles she burns daily in both her home and office.

Vintage Detailing

Dinnigan is charmed by fashion history, and her designs hearken to eras gone by. Whether it’s the pattern of her embellishments (lots of deco) or the shape of her jacket, the look is decidedly modern but with an Old World flair.
